Welcome to the College of Education and Allied Studies (CEAS) web page. We are delighted that you have an interest in our programs and services.

The College of Education and Allied Studies (CEAS) is one of the four academic colleges at California State University, East Bay. We have five departments and an interdisciplinary unit. Three of the departments are exclusively graduate level (Educational Leadership, Educational Psychology and Teacher Education); one is exclusively undergraduate (Leadership in Hospitality and Leisure Services); and one has both undergraduate and graduate programs (Kinesiology and Physical Education). The Interdisciplinary Studies unit offers interdepartmental courses and programs, and houses the certificate and masters degree programs in Online Teaching and Learning, as well as grant-funded projects. Intercollegiate Athletics is also part of CEAS. We have varsity level programs in baseball, basketball, cross-country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming, volleyball and water polo.

The College of Education and Allied Studies (CEAS) is committed to "Preparing Leaders Committed to Social Justice and Democracy". This commitment is reflected in our mission, values and goals. Our mission is to prepare collaborative leaders, committed to social justice and democracy, who will influence a highly technological and diverse world. To develop such leaders, we seek and value the significant involvement of our partners from schools, business and community. Our mission statement is grounded in a set of shared values which are reflected in our curriculum, activities and organizational culture. We value excellence in teaching; collaboration and partnerships; assessment and evaluation; and equity and diversity. We envision ourselves becoming a college exemplifying the ideals of social justice and democracy, distinguished by excellence in teaching, vibrant programs and graduates who are powerful forces in their communities. Our College’s theme is "Preparing Leaders Committed to Social Justice and Democracy."

To demonstrate their commitment to social justice and democracy, our graduates are expected: (1) to have knowledge and skills to develop and implement research-based programs and strategies that create access and opportunities resulting in equitable outcomes; (2) to create environments, systems and practices which all individuals are treated with respect, dignity, trust and fairness; (3) to demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively at the system level as change agents to create socially just solutions; and (4) to have the ability to identify social injustices and the courage and commitment to engage in action and advocacy to redress them.

CEAS is recognized for its responsiveness to diverse communities, needs, and populations; pioneering uses of technology to enhance instruction; teacher preparation partnerships with school districts; its constructivist approach to the development of educational leaders; innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration; and a visionary approach to strategic planning.

We are very proud of the quality of students and faculty we attract to our programs. We are constantly striving to enhance our programs and to be responsive to emerging trends and needs of the diverse populations and communities we serve.

CEAS takes assessment seriously and we are prepared to be held accountable for developing and implementing curricula, programs, and activities which will improve schools and the quality of life of the individuals served by our graduates.

We are confident that, together with our partners, we are successful in fulfilling our mission "to prepare collaborative leaders, committed to social justice and democracy, who will influence a highly technological and diverse world."
